TRUCK MOUNTED DEFLECTOMETER (TMD) The Model 8000 Truck Mounted Falling Weight Deflectometer Test System (TMD). The Dynatest TMD is particularly suitable for test environments requiring overall shorter length testing platforms (without losing deflection bowl coverage) or in which stand-alone vehicle purchases or vehicle-trailer operations are problematic. The TMD is part of the reliable, proven, always evolving and well supported Dynatest line of products and services designed to enable a proprietary analytical/empirical understanding and management of pavement systems and networks referred to as the Dynatest Methodology. This methodology scientifically addresses pavement structures in an engineering manner similar to other standard civil engineering structures.

As with all members of the Dynatest Model 8000 and Model 8081 Falling and Heavy Weight Deflectometer product lines (FWD and HWD), the TMD provides fully automated, fast, highly accurate and precise measurements suitable for use with standard analysis and design procedures including especially rigorous mechanistic-empirical analysis of pavement structures such as the proprietary Dynatest ELMOD (Evaluation of Layer Moduli and Overlay Design) program. Selecting from many possible types of rehabilitation to be implemented on a given pavement, or throughout a pavement network, is of considerable...
